Just a note re silver dollars, there are several species and some can easily hit 8" - 10". I have a red hook (myleus rubripinnis) and 3 regular dollars (metynnis argenteus). The red hook is bigger than the other 3 even tho he's only a few months old. Don't want to sound patronising but as already stated, research the species first to prevent a repeat of the above.AquaGhost said:jagarundi, why don't you try the Silver Dollars, sort of a miniature version of the pacus that won't get any bigger than 5 or 6 inches in diameter. I have a couple of them and like them a lo. Just one problem though: they mowed all my live plants to the root!
Hi Debra: Yours fish is 25 year old? Wow...I did not realize a fish can live that long...How big is it now? Coffee-table size?
